SD Elements

Build security into the earliest stages of the SDLC

Overview

Be more proactive. Make security measurable. Go to market faster.

SD Elements is a software security requirements management solution. Using a short questionnaire, SD Elements automatically generates relevant security requirements for an application, links them to test cases and delivers them into development tools.

When building or maintaining a mature application, SD Elements effortlessly integrates with your development tools and processes to ensure your software is secure. It provides prescriptive, secure coding advice based on your project’s application technology, business and compliance drivers.

Predict

Clearly understand security requirements and test against them rather than simply testing your software with opaque tools and processes.

Plan

Integrate security seamlessly into your existing development tools, eliminating the need for major process changes.

Prevent

Eliminate high-risk security vulnerabilities, saving significant costs and allowing you to bring more secure software to the market faster.

"SD Elements enables our developers to stay focused on our highest goal: the security of our patients’ health information. With its intuitive user interface and simple JIRA integration, we rapidly generate relevant security requirements and incorporate them into our existing development processes. SD Elements allows us to build software with confidence, spend more time on features and waste less on remediation " – Health Care Provider

SD Elements & Tasktop Sync

Connecting Security to Development

Security Compass provides technology that allows development organizations to seamlessly add security requirements and compliance standards into existing Application Lifecycle Management practices and tools, without changing the way software delivery is handled.

Security Compass has partnered with Tasktop to offer Tasktop Sync to its customers. Tasktop Sync provides fully-automated, enterprise-grade synchronization between SD Elements and the most widely used tools used for software development and delivery These integrations further enhance your organization’s ability to add security directly into the development process by enabling the integration of software delivery tools all across the software delivery process--from planning, PMO and operations functions, to development and testing. This means that software delivery team members, in different disciplines and using disparate systems, can collaborate and synchronize efforts resulting in a more efficient and secure software delivery process.

Features

Security requirements and compliance standards automatically added to the software development process

Seamless, real-time integration with and synchronization to the most widely deployed tools used in the software development and delivery process

Benefits

Best-of-breed, open source, legacy and enterprise Agile tools can be utilized more effectively as part of a secure software delivery process

Cross-repository, cross-constituent workflows dramatically improve the likelihood of software development success in a timely and secure manner and on budget

Tools to help you stay efficient

Benefits of Reporting

Generate threat tables from the "Problem Summary Report", create reports for specific compliance standards, and show management progress on secure development tasks.

Email Notifications

Get notified when users create new projects or update tasks. Centralized security teams can scale across hundreds or thousands of applications and still keep a pulse on what's happening on individual projects.

Extensible Access Control

Lockdown access to specific features in the system by using built-in roles or by creating custom roles with fine-grained permissions

Auditability

Comprehensive logging allows you to monitor changes to tasks in projects, changes to project settings, who is logging into the system, etc.

Enterprise Authentication

Use your existing usernames and passwords through SAML & LDAP integration. Our partnership with OneLogin allows you to use your existing authentication database across organizational boundaries for free.

Scanner Integration

Already using an automated security scanner? Find out which requirements your scanner can assess and which ones you need to manually assess. Featuring integration with Veracode, Fortify, WebInspect and AppScan.

Works with Agile & Continuous Integration

Development teams can make intelligent risk trade-offs when to implement security requirements vs. other features.
